| 50 foot cables? @OP, You might get lucky searching Ebay for used cables.25 feet is long, but I scored a set of AQ Rockefeller cables a while ago.They were the real deal and AQ cut them down and had them reterminated when I moved to monoblocks.Also, check Hifi Sha... | |
| 50 foot cables? That is a very long distance, if you are asking about speaker cables.Especially so when wanting something good for under $500.Given the extreme distance, I recommend Audioquest cables with the DBS. Unfortunately, I doubt you will score a pair used... | |
| An unusual problem Perhaps a Townshend isolation platform for your subs would be a way to go.I own a lot of their products and can attest to their efficacy in isolating vibrations. They also work great on isolating components- resulting in a much cleaner sound.Bob | |
| Choosing between floorstanding speakers. For floor standers the Vandy 1's, especially coupled with subs is a good move.Though I would suggest looking at the VLR's, as well. They are bookshelf speakers but, like the 1's, when coupled with subs, are an unbelievable speaker. I heard them wi... | |
| UPS for Music Server @almarg ,Great Post! I have to try that the next time I have issues. NOT for the faint hearted. Though I am sure Aurender will consider me a pariah (certainly not Murray).😏Bob | |
| UPS for Music Server @cleeds ,Yes, you have.I had to send my N100 back to Aurender because one of the drives corrupted.$180 bucks.Not terrible. But, I could have done it myself if I had the ability to reinstall the software.Bob | |
| Atmasphere mp1 mk3.3 with phono I think you should PM Audiogon member Pstores. He has a lot of firsthand info on Atma's.Of course, calling Ralph(-Atmasphere) directly would provide the most accurate info.When I had Ralph build my MP-1, I had them install V Caps (as per Pstores a... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier @decooney .You have made some very good points.B | |
| How many people wish they could maintain and/or service/modify their own tube equipment? I, like you, have no idea of what would need to be fixed, so I send all my tube stuff (and SS stuff) to Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere.He knows his stuff and his recent work of finding the source of a buzz was priced so low, I can't believe it was w... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier @neonknight , 8 meters is a long run and might be the cause of your issues.In your case, I would recommend some Audioquest speaker cables with DBS. Used Rocket 88, Rockefeller, or GO-4 isn't too expensive (relatively) and you might just score some... | |
| Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other? @OP,The best way to minimize damage from surges is to put a whole house protector at the main box. They aren't expensive and the hook up (by and experienced electrician) shouldn't be much either. These surge protectors are sacrificial, but at leas... | |
| Amp Section for New Pair of Magenpan 3.7i @OP,To PM someone, just go to home page.Click on the explore tab dropdown and click on member lookup to the right.Enter Audioconnection and Viola!B | |
| BIC Venturi fans? I owned the Soundspan 600 speakers.They were pretty good, too.B | |
| I need advice for power cords @beatify,I concur. And, welcome to Audiogon.Bob | |
| Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible! @OP,I would cut Aurender some slack. Given streaming music is relatively new and the software has to work on Mac and PC, sometimes things get screwed up.I remember a Microsoft update that messed up networked PC's communicating with each other that... |
